That's not the way I heard it. It was in response to a question by a CP who asked MMY: if an enlightened man can do anything and you, MMY, are enlightened, why don't you just make us all enlightened? And the answer was: yes, I could do that but it would take 10 strong men to hold you down (presumably because the force of the stress release would be so intense). > But you�ve been at > it for so many years.
